FRS 18: Accounting policies

The accounting standard FRS 18 set out requirements for the selection, application and disclosure of accounting policies. Accounting policies, estimates and errors are covered by Section 10 of FRS 102 under new UK GAAP.

New UK GAAP

This standard and all other old UK GAAP FRSs have been withdrawn for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2015.
